8.

With one or more wire ties, attach the audio signal

circuit board (Figure 20) to the underside of the dash,
as close to the LED as possible.

9.

Connect the monitor LED, audio signal circuit board

and the black wire from the rear of the motorhome as 
shown in Figure 20.

Connect the monitor wire patch cord

1.

Attach the male bullet connectors on the monitor

wire patch cord (page one) to the matching connectors 
on the motorhome and towed vehicle.
  

Note: if an open terminal is available on both elec-

trical sockets, you can use the existing power cord to 
connect the monitor wiring between the two vehicles. 
This method eliminates the monitor wire patch cord. 

  You must apply a silicone sealant (not provided) to 

weatherproof the attachment points. Otherwise, mois-
ture and/or corrosion may cause unintended activation.

2.

The installation is complete. Before operating In-

visiBrake you must test all functions, as described in 
the next section.

Install the monitor system

continued from preceding page

the vacuum line, cable housing and the electrical wiring 
from the controller.

Install the monitor system in the motorhome

  Note: some motorhomes are manufactured with aux-
iliary wires pre-strung from the rear of the motorhome 
to the dashboard — if the motorhome has such a wire, 
use it instead of the 50-foot wire included in the kit, 
which will save time. 

Refer to the motorhome owner’s manual or call the 

dealership.

1.

If there is no pre-existing wire, attach the end of the

50-foot length of black wire with the female bullet con-
nector to the back of the motorhome, near the electrical 
socket. 

  Attach the connector with one or more wire ties. 

Allow enough slack so that a matching connector can 
be plugged into and out of it.

2.

Route the other end of the wire from the back of

the motorhome to the underside of the dashboard. 

3.

Choose an area on the dashboard to mount the LED,

where the LED can be easily seen by the driver.

4.

Drill a 5/16" hole through the dashboard at the point

you have chosen. 

Before drilling, confirm that the 

location of the LED is approved by the owner, and 
make certain you will not damage the dashboard 
or any components on the other side.

5.

You may choose to omit the LED decal (Figure 19),

depending on your preferences. If you choose to attach 
it, clean the area around the hole you just drilled to 
ensure that the decal will stick.

Center the decal over the hole, and press it down.

6.

From the top of the dashboard, slide the LED

through the hole, wires first, until the base of the bulb 
(Figure 19) is flush to the top of the dash.

7.

From the underside of the dash, fit both of the wires

through the speed nut (Figure 19). Then push the speed 
nut up, against the dash, to secure the LED.
